Rochester Optical had a long history of lens and frame manufacturing even before President and CEO Patrick Ho acquired the company in 1990. Maintaining its roots as one of few remaining US frame manufacturers, Rochester Optical has grown exponentially since, and in multiple directions: adding a full service optical lab, wholesale operations, retail stores, expanding military contracts, and investing in Research and Development, the company has evolved into the Rochester Optical you know today – a one-of-a-kind, privately-owned optical company, focused on community, development, and innovation.
